qucntiy he manufactured vests. While in stockton
he married Miss Isabel Fletcher, who survives
him. Eight years ago Mr.. Priest came to Belfast
and began the manufacture of clothing. BY close
application to business, STRICT economy and honest
dealing he built up u large and lucrative business,
and made money rapidly. A few years ago he
bought a tailoring establishment and with his
brother carried it on until year ago when he sold
out to his brother. Mr.. Priest was a very enter
piising young man, and by his death Belfast
loses valuable citizen. His many good quail
ties had won for him the love and respect
OF all who knew him, and this was demon
strated during his last illness. lie gave employ
ment to several hundred people in Waldo county,
and during his illness those he employed on COM
ing to town would tenderly inquire for him and
with tears coursing doN.l their cheeks say 81
hope he will live" His shop hands kept at work
with tears dimming their eyes and falling upon
their work When Col. Hcrsey moved to California
Mr.. Priest bought his handsome house on Church
street where nc has since resided. 1t was Mr..
Priests intention to have lived in ease in the
future. Next spring he was to have sold out his
business and after tour of the west to have re-
turned anu engaged ina less trying occupation
When he ha, got ready to live, the fell destrOyeE
Death, removed him from his field of labor. MI
Priest was n member of Waldo Lodge and the
Rcbckah Lodge I. .. O. F. and respected Past
Grand of the former. He loved the institution for
its humane principles, and in turn the order loved
and honored him. He is the first Past Crane, the
lodge has lost. Mr.. Priest was also Mason and
member of Phoenix Lodge. He was buried on
Wednesday at Stockton where Mrs Priests people
reside. At the request of the deceased the Odd
Fellows conducted the burial services and large
number of the members followed his remains to
Stockton. The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. L. NJ. Burlington. The flowers were
profusc, the family and friends contributing some
handsome specimens, the boarders in the house
adding an appropriate piece, VIII q large
pillow Of white flowers with the typical three
links wrought in flowers, was presented by men,

was broken. Besides the handsome property
accumulated by Mr. Priest he had 900 life insur-

and 5000 In the Bay State Beneficiary. No death
in belfast for some time has cast such gloom
over the community as has the death of Mr.. Priest.
